Holy Grail Oud Cologne

You’re about to be let in on an ancient secret. The scent of oud wood cologne has been extracted from the deep woods of South Asia since the third century and possibly earlier. The oud aroma has stood the test of time better than any other scent known to man, and there is a good reason for that: it’s intoxicating. Oud cologne has been the perfume of history’s great men for thousands of years, enchanting their subjects with a memorable aroma even if they’d just barely caught a whiff of cologne as an oud-sporting nobleman breezed by.

The oud fragrance for him is a warm aroma featuring rich musky base notes, reminiscent of nutmeg. When you breathe in this captivating fragrance, you’ll notice smokey middle notes mingling with a woody, earthy feel reminiscent of sandalwood. There’s a subtle dose of calming vanilla in the ambrosial top notes of oud that trigger the brain’s pleasure centers, permanently lodging itself in your memory. This scent is warm, woody, and rich without being overpowering. It’s pleasurable, memorable, and rare. There’s a reason this fragrance is called liquid gold. This is a scent that people have gone to great lengths and expense to retrieve for thousands of years, and though this drives up its cost, every ounce of effort is worth it.

The intense perfume of Oud cologne for men comes from the resinous, innermost golden flesh of the agar tree. Agarwood resin is melted down to create the warm, deeply pleasing perfume that has been worn by Kings and Emperors for most of human history. Perhaps the most notable thing about oud cologne, aside from its unforgettable scent, is the fact that it can only be extracted from an Agar tree that has been overcome with a specific fungus. A healthy tree will not produce the perfume humanity’s elite has celebrated for thousands of years. As such, the scent is rare and challenging to harvest, but it’s worth every moment of effort to retrieve it because oud is undoubtedly a scent you won’t soon forget. Agar trees, particularly agar trees that have been consumed by Phialophora parasitica, the fungus that helps produce the men’s oud perfume, are found in South Asia. They’re native to dense tropical forest regions in places like Vietnam, India, and the Philippines. These remote locations, combined with the need to find fungal-infected trees make oud a rare scent, which adds to its mystery as well as the cost of production.
